In 2010, Vail Resorts launched the EpicMix experience that enabled guests at 5 different mountains to track their stats with RFID-enabled ski passes and share them with their friends. While successful, Vail Resorts had bigger plans for EpicMix and Season 2.

Philosophy

EpicMix Season 2 gives its guests incredible photos to share and re-live their vacation. Pro photographers are stationed all over the resorts to capture everything from family portraits to deep powder and big jumps. Sharing these hi-quality photos has been wildly popular with guests – and it’s growing at an exponential rate. The premium service offers the photos on EpicMix for free, and hi-res prints for a fee.

EpicMix can now challenge Vail guests with scavenger hunts that add fun and discovery to their experience. They also encourage guests to explore the mountain, get more out of Vail, and share their new achievements.

Guests can now save decades of great seasons and fantastic memories with EpicMix.

Result

All of this was wrapped up in a beautiful design, a tightly integrated mobile-web-social ecosystem, and a new user interface that even works with your gloves on!
